A. Dear Client,

This 90-day period begins 15 days after the landlord serves a notice to the tenant, as outlined in Section 106[1] of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.

Eviction of a tenant is not automatic, and it can only occur if the tenant brea ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Upon receiving land compensation from the government under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, your father may face criminal prosecution if he proceeds to sell the same land to another party. To avoid legal consequences, including potential conviction and penalties, it is advisable to settle the matter outside of court. Encourage your father to repay the amount received to the purchaser and request the withdrawal of any pending criminal case against him. Resolving the issue amicably c ...ReadMore

A calendar month serves as the notice period in the absence of explicit mention in the tenancy agreement. The rent for the notice period is commonly adjusted with the security deposit unless otherwise specified in the rent agreement. Disputes between landlords and tenants fall under state-specific Rent Control Acts, appointing Rent Controllers or Additional Rent Controllers to address such issues. In the current circumstance, if necessary, you have the option to file an applicatio ...ReadMore

So, in the prevailing situation, you can file an application explaining your grievance before the concerned Rent Controller to resolve the issue amicably. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

Mention the notice period provided and the expectation of the refund within a week. If your landlord remains unresponsive, you may consider sending a legal notice through a lawyer demand ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Given your prolonged tenancy and the change in circumstances with the rediscovery of one of the landlords, it's important to approach the situation with a clear understanding of your rights and obligations. While the Limitation Act, 1963, generally does not have specific provisions regarding the release of tenancy, Section 27 of the Act, pertaining to the revival of the right to sue, may be relevant. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional to discuss your specific sit ...ReadMore

A. Dear Sir,
It is very small issue and you have to settle the matter amicably. None of you can go to Court. You may agree for one month advance amount as return and close the matter since you have already handed over physical possession of the house.
